Anger Management and Counselling in Streetsville, ON.

Being angry when something goes wrong, or somebody annoys you is completely normal. The question is: do you like to feel that way? Sometimes the anger is extraordinarily strong, and it can make you lose control. Do you like the consequences of being angry? - headaches, regrets of words you said, and actions you did?

While anger management is about executing these skills, the successful implementation depends on a foundational understanding of what anger is and how it operates in one’s life.

Anger can be a strong emotion. When used in an unproductive way, anger can harm us (i.e. self-criticism, self-injury), and harm our relationships (i.e. blaming, criticism, aggression, inflexibility). However, when this feeling is used in a healthy way, it can give us some important information about boundaries, needs & expectations. It can also help to motivate us to make necessary changes. In therapy, we can work together to get a handle on anger and harness that energy in healthy, helpful ways.

Anger is a completely normal, often healthy human emotion. But if it gets beyond your control, it can be very destructive in your work and interpersonal relationships and can drastically devastate the quality of your life. Fortunately, anger can be 'managed' which is very different than 'suppressing' it. Unexpressed anger leads to a host of other problems including high blood pressure. However, when we learn how to 'manage' our anger, we can learn to diminish both the emotional feelings and the physiological arousal that anger causes. We can learn to avoid triggers and develop strategies. We can learn how to problem solve, change our thinking and relax our bodies.

We will explore your anger and provide strategies to control it. You may experience shame and guilt after you experience anger. In our sessions, we will explore your triggers and how to control your impulses. We will utilize your strengths and resources to overcome your intense emotions.

If you struggle with managing anger, you may also be struggling with other issues as well. Anger is the response that others see to the hurt, pain and frustration underneath that is wreaking havoc in both your physical and emotional worlds. The most effective way that we can manage anger is to begin to understand it, and address these underlying problems. Anger does not allow for us to live the way that we want to; it takes over the moment that we become triggered. We can regain control of our reactions once we deal with those underlying issues. Together we will take a nonjudgmental approach in exploring how anger has impacted you, and the behaviours that you want to move towards.
